Parametric Study on the Free-Fall Water Entry of a Sphere by Using the RANS Method
Motivated by the application of water-entry problems in the air-drop deployment of a spherical oceanographic measuring device, the free-fall water entry of a sphere was numerically investigated by using the transient Reynolds-averaged Navier−Stokes

Ship Loading Influence on the Slamming Impact of Typical Sections of an S-175 Container Ship
This paper investigates the influence of ship-loading condition on slamming during water entry. Three typical sections of the S-175 container ship, namely the bow, parallel middle body and stern, under three different loading conditions are studied. Full-

Simulation of Water Entry Jet and Cavitation Characteristics of Hollow Projectiles
In the water entry process of hollow projectiles, the formation of high-speed water jets is a crucial factor influencing their water entry. In order to study the influence of the through-hole aperture of hollow projectiles on jet and water entry ...

An experimental investigation into the constant velocity water entry of wedge-shaped sections
Constant velocity water entry is important in understanding planing and slamming of marine vessels. A test rig has been developed that drives a wedge section with end plates down guides to enter the water vertically at near constant velocity. Entry force

Research on Water-Entry Hydrodynamics for a Cross-Wing Underwater Vehicle
The optimization of the water-entry strategy for cross-wing underwater vehicles has become a research hotspot in the field of engineering, and its water-entry process is quite different from that of wedges and cylinders. In order to address this problem,

Water-entry pressure in water repellent soils: a review
Water repellent soils can be naturally promoted (e.g. after wildfires) or synthetically induced by mixing with hydrophobic compounds (e.g. polydimethylsiloxane).
